The reality television ecosystem is no stranger to dramatic fallouts, but the latest revelation from Splitsvilla and Lock Upp 2 fame Yogesh Rawat has certainly grabbed the internet’s attention. Yogesh has publicly opened up about his strained equation with Roadies legend Prince Narula, shedding light on the exact moment that led him to unfollow the reality TV star on social media.
According to Yogesh, the tension stemmed from Prince’s guest appearance on Ekta Kapoor’s controversial reality show, Lock Upp 2: Sach Ya Sazaa. Yogesh claimed he was deeply disappointed by Prince’s behavior, alleging clear favouritism and a lack of acknowledgment.
Here is everything Yogesh Rawat had to say about his fallout with Prince Narula, the Lock Upp 2 incident, and the alleged bias!
The Double Date Revelation
The candid confession happened during Yogesh’s recent appearance on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi’s talk show, Double Date. During a segment, Yogesh was asked to name a famous personality he had unfollowed, muted, or blocked on social media. Without hesitation, Yogesh wrote down Prince Narula’s name.
Explaining his decision, Yogesh took the audience back to his time inside the Lock Upp 2 jail. He stated that when Prince entered the show as a guest along with other personalities, he completely ignored their shared Roadies connection.
“Lock Upp mein jab main gaya, woh jab as a guest aaye… wahan maine dekha jis tareeke se baat kari ya jis tareeke se address bhi nahi kiya ki aise Roadies ke hain hum log,” (When I was in Lock Upp and he came as a guest, the way he spoke and didn’t even address the fact that we belong to the same Roadies fraternity) Yogesh revealed.
“Biasness Dikh Rahi Thi”
Yogesh admitted that he had certain expectations from Prince, considering they had met several times outside the reality TV circuit. He hoped Prince would offer some words of encouragement regarding his gameplay on the show.
“Jab woh Lock Upp mein andar aaye the, tab mujhe expectation thi… Bahar bhi mila hoon unse kaafi baar. Toh mujhe laga tha kuch toh achha bolenge, bura toh nahi, achha,” (When he entered Lock Upp, I had expectations… I have met him outside many times. So I thought he would say something good, if not bad, at least something positive), Yogesh told Neha Dhupia.
However, instead of encouragement, Yogesh alleged that Prince displayed clear favouritism towards another contestant inside the jail, indirectly referring to Shreya Kalra. Yogesh stated, “But unka apna alag hi tha. Woh ek biasness dikh rahi thi,” (But he had his own agenda. That bias was clearly visible.) Prompted by this lack of support and evident favoritism, Yogesh decided to unfollow the reality star post-show.
Yogesh Rawat’s Reality TV Journey
Yogesh has rapidly climbed the reality TV ladder. He first gained prominence on MTV Roadies XX: Double Cross, where he showcased his athletic prowess and competitive spirit. He then transitioned to MTV Splitsvilla X6, where his complex love triangle involving Akanksha Choudhary and his former girlfriend Ruru Thakur kept the audience hooked.
He recently capitalized on his fame by entering Lock Upp 2: Sach Ya Sazaa alongside Akanksha. Inside the badass jail, Yogesh was known for his candid opinions, frequent clashes, and refusal to back down—traits that ultimately put him at odds with a seasoned veteran like Prince Narula.
As of now, Prince Narula has not publicly responded to Yogesh’s statements regarding his guest appearance on the show.
